What is Aclovir Ointment used for?::: Aclovir Ointment is used for treating herpes simplex infections of the skin and lips (cold sores, also called herpes labialis) and for initial genital herpes. It helps sores heal faster and reduces pain when used as directed.| When should I start applying medicine?::: Start treatment as soon as you notice the first symptoms (tingling, itching, redness) or when a lesion appears. Early use gives the best chance of shortening the episode.| Will Aclovir Ointment stop me from passing the virus to others?::: Aclovir Ointment can speed healing and reduce pain, but there are no data showing it helps prevent transmission. Avoid contact (kissing or sexual contact) while sores are present, and follow good hygiene to reduce spread.| Can I use Aclovir Ointment on the genital area or inside the mouth?::: No. The medicine is intended for use on the external lips and face for cold sores. Application to mucous membranes (inside the mouth, nose, eye, or genitals) is not recommended. Follow the product label or your doctor?s instructions.| Can I use it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?::: Topical use results in very low systemic exposure. Use during pregnancy or lactation should be considered only if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk. Discuss this with your doctor. If you have an active herpetic lesion on the breast, avoid nursing from the affected breast.
